| If any band
in recent years can claim to have ascended strictly on its own merits,
it's Creed. This Florida-based band went from zero to sixty, (or, more
accurately, from zero to selling more than twenty million albums) by
virtue of a combination of finger-on-the-pulse songs and powerful live
performances. Their debut album, 'My Own Prison', has sold over six
million albums to date. Creed's sophomore effort, 'Human Clay', debuted at
#1 on the Billboard charts and has gone on to sell more than 10 Million
copies. The band's third release, 'Weathered', also debuted at #1, selling
more copies in its first week than any other rock release in 2001, and
tying the record for the longest run at the top following a #1 debut. |
